HES 180 — Theory Of Sport: Applied Biomechanics
Concepts behind how human movement is created (force) and how it can be improved (technique). Optimal performance can be attained by teaching/coaching knowledge of the appropriate muscular applications that they body must endure while in motion. On the opposite end of the spectrum, what negative positions the body is placed in which leads to injury and decreased performance is crucial. The course will also cover avoidance of injury and decreased performance. Video and whiteboard analysis of biomechanical movements will be applied to sport. Case studies will be used to reinforce biomechanical concepts.
